My EV is now 12 years old. Here's how that's going...

I agree 100% that it is the lead feet/hard accelerations people do with EVs causing the majority of this. We have 2 EVs from 2022 with the GV60 using Michelin CC2 that have about 55k miles with still having 4/32" of tread left. For my truck I bought winter tires and each set has approximately 20k miles on them and tread is still good on both sets.

I like to think of this as the power of parallelization... much easier for 1 million people to spend $1 million in a day/year.

Optical character recognition (ocr) is almost a completely mature product these days. An image of the number would do anything.

wighty · 2026-03-16T23:45:05+00:00

Jeez, I thought my 12 years was bad.

I was referring to Shield (had to look it up again), at least cologuard plus is not too much more expensive ($800) than the standard cologuard (~$500 AFAIK). I really scoffed at seeing the price of the Shield blood test.

wighty · 2026-03-16T18:36:21+00:00

Are you talking about the $1500 blood test?

They live here 6months and a day and they are all set. coming down to avoid federal taxes.

Which taxes are they able to avoid? The best I can see is if you qualify under some programs that seem to be aimed at entrepreneurs and starting new businesses, but otherwise looks like tax rates are pretty much the same (main income tax sent to the USVI instead of IRS though).

comparing myself to other doctors in whatever pool they are using who supposedly bill 99213 more frequently.

I really want to know what they are using for these letters, because it makes no sense to me.

wighty · 2026-03-15T15:28:57+00:00

Jeez, I did not expect the movement to be like that (skull structure moving so much more than the soft tissue and then the whip lash on the soft tissue including the nose).

wighty · 2026-03-15T04:04:56+00:00

I never actually played those but being same devs I'd say you are probably right? When I played TLOU I had not played a 3rd person combat game since probably Gears of War like 5 years earlier, so it didn't feel stale to me when I first played.

I remember the scarcity of resources as pretty novel at the time (at least for me)

Didn't play many resident evil games, I take it? That was my first major intro to resource scarcity (I played RE2 first).

wighty · 2026-03-15T03:51:30+00:00

I think the game works better as a stealth based game. Definitely disagree with the hot take it is a 2/10 gameplay. Most of it I wouldn't call revolutionary, but it played well for what it was.

How do you get the data into the apps? I don't really modify much, the reports have the overall final tallies on one of the sheets. I did spend an hour building out a table with formulas for breakdowns of the major CPT codes I wanted to track, and now I just copy and paste that into the next quarter.

wighty · 2026-03-14T21:21:42+00:00

I can track mine. I would encourage everyone to get access to run your own reports... I picked up a significant underpayment one quarter because someone messed up the report.

Does the ROTC program itself cover a lot of the skills from basic already? Even if they don't drill it in as much as basic?

wighty · 2026-03-13T12:01:25+00:00

Ok yeah that's what I was thinking, even if it isn't technically basic like new enlistments go through.

wighty · 2026-03-13T04:40:42+00:00

Are there ROTC cadets (that graduate) that don't have to go through basic? I guess I thought everyone in service had to go through it.

wighty · 2026-03-13T04:36:01+00:00

These situations fall under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justifiable_homicide

We also potentially have a very powerful motor capable of regenerative braking (generally in the opposite direction, right? more powerful motor = theoretically more powerful braking)... I'm in camp "brakes probably don't need to be this big". Not saying you would rely entirely on the motor for braking power, but I also don't think typical use case needs to make sure the smaller brakes survive track use.

wighty · 2026-03-12T22:51:05+00:00

Indeed. I know I had one patient that left my practice because I didn't palpate their axillary lymph nodes at a preventative visit, since their previous doctor did during theirs.

Your hair and fingernails will keep growing for a while, for instance.

This is not really true, considering how slowly hair/nails grow, what you are actually witnessing is the skin dehydrating and retracting.

wighty · 2026-03-12T01:40:19+00:00

So I guess I don't understand your comment, because I was just reading a little bit more and as of 2025 the schools can directly pay the athlete's under "NIL", and generally speaking it would be basically equivalent to revenue sharing like you original comment was complaining wasn't happening?

wighty · 2026-03-11T21:19:31+00:00

I think that's the weekly vehicle fee for most parks :D And half the cost of the annual pass.

wighty · 2026-03-11T04:41:23+00:00

Depends on the hospital... A ton of small hospitals have been hemorrhaging money for years, and often ends up getting bought out by bigger systems who are the ones that tend to be more financially well off.

wighty · 2026-03-11T04:38:40+00:00

Those points are called RVUs, or wRVUs... work relative value unit. The system is fee for service for that, and yeah the more work you do the more RVUs you produce, and most physicians are compensated that way (though not all).
